OONA.

You should not say such things—they bring ill-luck.

CATHLEEN.

The image of young Edain on the arras,

Walking along, one finger lifted up;

And that wild song of the unending dance

Of the dim Danaan nations in their raths,

Young Aleel sang for me by the great door,

Before we lost him in the shadow of leaves,

Have filled me full of all these wicked words.
